Tyler Reddick will lead the field for the Coca‑Cola 600 after securing the pole position for the May 24 NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The starting grid was established by the rulebook after rain eliminated qualifying on May 23, meaning the lineup reflects a blend of owner points and performance metrics.
Austin Hill is slated to replace the late Kyle Busch in the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet and will start the event from 13th position. During media availability on May 23, drivers donned special apparel that paid homage to Busch, underscoring the respect he commands across the paddock.
Honoring Kyle Busch
Toyota entries will sport the ‘Rowdy’ badge above their cockpits this weekend, while Richard Childress Racing distributed No. 8 decals to all teams as a further tribute to the late driver’s legacy.
The race itself will consist of 400 laps, totaling 600 miles, split into four stages of 100 laps each. Coverage will be headlined on Amazon Prime Video, with additional streaming options including HBO MAX’s in‑car camera feeds and NASCAR.com’s audio commentary, ensuring fans can follow the action from multiple angles.
